John Arensdorf for the murder of Rev. DR..
Haddock will begin in the District court here
to-day unless counsel for the defense inter
pose on technical grounds. No move has
thus far been made by the defense to secure
a change of judge. 1t is not impossible for
Arensdorfs counsel to make such an applica-
ton, however, although the probabilities of
their doing so are slight, since both sides
have practically conceded the desirability of
proceeding before Judge Lewis, who is now
sitting in regular session.

PROTESTS AGAINST COERCION.
HOme-Rule Mass Meeting at New York
Letter from Roscoe ConIkling.


Letter from Roscoe COnkling.
New YORK, March ga mass-meeting
held in Cooper Union Monday night under
the direction of the Municipal Council of the
Irish National League in America adopted
resolutions condemning the proposal of the
British Government TO resort to coercion
in Ireland. Charles A. Dana presided,
and made a speech in which he said
American citizens had a right to pro-
test against coercion in Ireland, because
coercion would be the violation Of the first
principles of liberty. Letters written in the
same spirit were read from Congressman
Randall, Bland, Walker, and S. S. Cox, ex-
Senator Roscoe Conkling, and Chancellor
Lippincott of the University Of Kansas In
his letter Mr.. Conkling says: "In heart and
judgment am in sympathy with the people
of Ireland and wholly against any and every
scheme to trample on their rights. For
Government to hold itself by force against
those who would overthrow it is one thing.
This is the right of self-defense; the right to
be. But it is a widely different thing to make
laws oppressive and repugnant to the great
majority of those affected by them and
then to violate tho principles of
Government itself in order to en-
force such laws. Such proceeding is not
resort to the right OF self-defense, nor resort
to any other right. 1t is might-brutal
might. 1t cannot be defended by theextrem-
ity of the occasion. Should the events you
apprehend come to pass, Great Britain may
raise a home question which mankind may
make a question Of its own-so deep and uni
versal is the sentiment Of liberty. That the
wisdom of Englishmen and Scotchmen and
Irishmen may avert all the evils you fear is
my ardent hope and wish" a congratula-
tory disnatch was sent to Mr. Gladstone

SAN FRANCISCO, May l0.--The Chi
oago Times says; After the meeting of
the transoontinental lines, Stubbs, OF
the Southern Pacific. and party, went
on tcf New York, stating before they
left that the Southern Pacifics would
meet the competition of the Canadian
Pacific Mail and clipper ships in its own
way, which meant that if these latter
routes took any business they would get
it at loss. 1t was discovered that
there was no possibility of arranging
with outside lines on basis differential,
as the American reads would not listen
to any such compromise. If differentials
were to be established, the Denver &
Rio Grande and Northern Pacific, would
insist upon being baited with like adj
antage, and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe would under no circumstances
listen to any such concession, The
Stubbs party has gone East to labor
with the Trunk lines in the effort to get
reduction OF the pro.rate now de-
manded east of Chicago, in order to
secure, If possible. some freight origin
atipg on the seaboard, for all rail routes.
The party will return to Chicago the
latter part of the week; and on Monday
next another meeting of the transconti-
mental lines will be held and report
made of the result of negotiations with
Eastern lines.
